Abstract
We study the quantum dynamics of the dynamical region of the Reissner--Nordström geometry using a minisuperspace reduction and affine quantization, which is naturally suited for positive-definite geometrical variables. The resulting Wheeler--DeWitt equation becomes separable, yielding Hermite-polynomial modes in one sector and Gaussian-like radial solutions in the other. Affine quantization introduces additional short-distance contributions that modify the small-radius behaviour of the wave function. By constructing normalizable semiclassical wave packets, we analyze the resulting probability distributions in minisuperspace and the role played by the electric charge in the quantum dynamics. Our results extend previous affine-quantization studies of the Schwarzschild case to the charged Reissner--Nordström geometry.
